British HP Sauce. Is it like A.1. Sauce in the USA?

Question

I read a story about something called HP Sauce that is sold in Britain.  Is this like A.1. steak sauce or what would be a close approximation to what it is?  This is supposedly something put on fried breakfasts.

It's the same, read the history.  Apparently Heinz bought it over and kept the same name (HP Sauce in the UK) and bottled it as A1 here in the US.

HP sauce is better.

It's somewhere between that and Heinz 57 sauce. It's really good on sausages.

They aren't exactly the same thing. You can find HP online. Give it a try. I think it's better than A1

Same purpose for both: To mask the yummy taste of steak. 

I'd rather taste the steak.
